Description from the creator

This video demonstrates on how to restore hazed and foggy headlights within 3 to 5 minutes.

Major materials used for headlights are;
1. polycarbonate (PC)
2. acrylate resin

I've used abrasive compound which suit to these materials.
This abrasive won't make scratches on headlights surface.
It doesn't harm existing coating. But yet, it's "abrasives"

In many cases, "haze" is not a taint.
It is a deterioration of polycarbonate.
So the best way to restore this would be "polishing".
This powder which I've found in Japanese polishing expo react chemically
with plastic materials. It seems that this is not only physical polishing but also close to chemical polishing. I'm not certain what kind of reactions do occur during this polishing.

Headlights surfaces are usually coated with transparent thin film. This is to protect from UV lights and any other harmful environment to plastics. I've tried to remove these films by this abrasive but it didn't work. Thin film cannot remove by this liquid.
